Agnes Booth (October 4, 1843 – January 2, 1910) was an Australian-born American actress and in-law of actors Junius Brutus Booth, Edwin Booth, and John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. She made her US debut in early 1858 as Agnes Land, performing with her sister Belle at Maguire's Opera House, San Francisco. In 1865 she moved to New York where she appeared at the Winter Garden Theatre. In 1867, she married Junius Brutus Booth Jr. and she performed as Agnes Booth thereafter. She played Belinda in the first American production of W. S. Gilbert's Engaged in 1879, as shown in this photograph by Abraham Bogardus.
